WEPACK 2025 Ends on High Note, Sets New Records
WEPACK 2025, the premier global packaging industry exhibition, concluded at Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) with resounding success.
The three-day expo welcomed a whopping 1,38,614 visitors from home and abroad, marking a 51.37% increase compared to 2023. Of these, 18,806 were international visitors – an astonishing year-on-year growth of 189.19% – setting new records in the show’s history.
This year’s edition saw a major expansion in scope and influence. With an exhibition area of 1,20,000 sq m, WEPACK 2025 brought together over 1,500 domestic and international exhibitors, showcasing more than 1,000 pieces of equipment across the full packaging industry chain. The event featured over 20 new product launches, underlining the sector’s rapid innovation and dynamism.
WEPACK 2025 further solidified its role as a global platform for collaboration. Over 100 industry associations from China and abroad visited in organised groups, fostering a rich environment for international exchange. The Targeted Attendee Program (TAP) team successfully facilitated 898 business matching sessions, including 318 cross-border matchmaking meetings, resulting in numerous new global trade partnerships and concrete cooperation agreements.
The atmosphere throughout the event was vibrant and engaging. Attendees explored specialised exhibition zones, participated in high-level procurement talks, and actively pursued new market opportunities, further showcasing WEPACK’s powerful influence in connecting global packaging stakeholders.
Beyond the exhibition floor, 35 professional on-site events were held, offering attendees a wealth of industry insights and business prospects. Highlights included the GC O2O Outlet Sales Event, which featured exclusive offers on equipment, consumables, and accessories, as well as the Vietnam Investment Day Forum, providing strategic guidance for Chinese packaging companies to expand their footprint into Southeast Asia.
WEPACK 2025 not only showcased a plethora of cutting-edge technologies and solutions, but also served as a catalyst for global cooperation, supply chain synergy, and sustainable development across the industry.
The 2026 edition will take place at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center in April. With continued enhancements in scale, content, and service, WEPACK 2026 promises to deliver an even more impactful and forward-looking platform for the global packaging community.
